tv Tucker Carlson Tonight FOX News July 2, 2019 5:00pm-6:00pm PDT
5:00 pm
>> tucker: good evening. welcome to "tucker carlson." coming to you live from south korea. we'll have more on the meeting with the president and kim jong-un. first tonight, the democratic party is a diverse coalition. they tell you that relentlessly. diversity does not mean they're united. no. increasingly, it means a party defined by identity politics. by definition, that means conflict. the democratic party's skin
5:01 pm
color matters above all. some colors are good, some colors are bad. you're worth as a person depends on what you look like. watch. >> in my opinion, we don't need white people leading the democratic party. it's diverse and should be reflected in our leadership and the staff in the highest level. >> i will point out another white male. i'm very suspect with women doing well and the african american base of the democratic party. i'm not sure it's time to nominate a white man. >> joe biden realizes they'll say really? we want a 76-year-old white man? >> tucker: that's all propaganda. america is not a racist country. america elected barack obama twice overwhelmingly. look at the numbers. americans believe our national identity is not identified by skin color, thank god. they believe in equal
5:02 pm
opportunity and equal treatment regardless of what they looked like. the old democratic party believed that, too. but no longer. in the new democratic party, race means everything. in last week's democratic debates, each candidate denounced this country is immoral and bigoted. pete buttigieg knows that police are doing the best to keep his city safe. saying that won't get him the nomination so he attacked his own police department in his own city as racist. watch this. >> this is an issue facing our community and so many communities around the country. until we move policing out from the shadow of racism, whatever this police indense teaches us, we'll be left with a bigger problem. the fact is there's a wall of mistrust. not just what happened in the past but what is happening in the present. >> tucker: he offered no
5:03 pm
evidence to support anything he said. he will say anything. they all will. so it went. democrats attacked each other as bigots. senator kamala harris thinks she can become president of the united states by calling other people racist. she began with joe biden. >> i'm going to now district this to vice president biden. i don't believe you're a racist, but you also worked with them to oppose bussing. and you know, there was a little girl in california who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools. she was bussed to school every day. and that little girl was me. >> tucker: oh, barf. she's saying if you oppose bussing, which is an insane policy that most black people say they hate because it hurts them, if you oppose that, kamala harris is telling us, you're a
5:04 pm
racist. over on msnbc, the guiltiest anchor cringed with seven loathing watching this. he said you have every right to hate them because of their skin color. >> this is important to all people of backgrounds. how did you come out of that and not have hatred to white people generally? >> how destructive this is. all race, all the time. americans don't want that. there's no evidence that they want that. americans are not racially obsessed unlike the buffoons you see running for office and holding cable news shows. americans care about jobs and security and fairness. the press insists on pitting black against white. kamala harris versus joe biden. but the reality, real life is far more complicated than that. for example, this is just one of many examples, joe biden's
5:05 pm
strongest constituency, black voters. kamala harris' voters, young white affluent voters. one of them tweeted that harris' life story doesn't bear much resemblance to most african americans. donald trump jr. retweeted that observation. for that, cnn denounced him as a terrifying racist. >> don jr. is facing big backlash about kamala harris's race. >> donald trump jr. tweet add racist lie. >> this is a constant theme with the president. implied racism. i don't have a racist bone in my body but the muscles are bigoted. >> a strategy that republicans have used, divide and conquer on race. >> it's a horrible form of black racism that has been harnessed
5:06 pm
to be a voter suppression tool. >> this is an attempt to divide the black community and attack a black candidate not on policy but xenophobia and racism. >> tucker: sure. it's a racist lie. turns out that no less authority than don lemon also of cnn said virtually exactly the same thing just a few months ago. this tape has been floating around washington. don lemon has been calling other anchors and asking them not to replay it because he's embarrassed of it. you have a right to see it and decide for yourself if don lemon is an anti black racist. >> to say is she african american or is she black or is she whatever. there's nothing wrong with that. all she has to do is say i'm black but i'm not african
5:07 pm
american. that's it. >> when she goes down her lineage, many -- >> jamaica is not america. >> but she is a black woman. she was born here -- >> i'm just saying -- >> tucker: my gosh. this is all so tiresome. such a total distraction from things that matter like jobs and life expectancy of americans and the suicide rate. there's a long list. here's don lemon telling kamala harris is not an african american. it's important that you know that. it's not racist because don lemon is a democratic voter. that's the logic of identity politics. democrats think they're going to get elected on that. they don't seem to understand the rest of the country finds it boring and stupid and repugnant. rob smith joins us tonight. thanks for coming on.
5:08 pm
what do you make of this? it's obviously the ugliest and dumbest debate. does it get you anywhere? many say don jr. is a racist because he retweeted a tweet and he agrees with don lemon. what do we get out of this? >> absolutely nothing. black americans don't get anything about it. let me tell you something about the donald trump jr. racist conversation. how is he a racist for sharing the same conversation that don lemon had on cnn? the exact same thing. what is going on in the left, they're trying to twist any question about kamala harris's lineage to a birther style attack which is garbage. she's the child of a jamaican father and indian mother. she was born to two immigrant parents. she's not african american, right? what she does, when you see the situation that she had with joe biden at the last debate, she
5:09 pm
tries to muddy the waters. when she says she's a child of bussing, she tries to muddy the waters to pretend that she comes from the jim crow lineage or lineage of slave. that's not where she comes from. it's not racist when don lemon had it on cnn and it's not racist for me or other black voters to have it and it wasn't racist for donald trump jr. to ask the question. i think that idea is completely absurd. >> tucker: it is completely absurd. kamala harris is the one that injected this conversation, imposed it on the rest of the country. am i wrong for not caring who her parents are? >> no. >> tucker: talk about irrelevant. i care about what she's done. >> you're not wrong for not caring at all. the reason she injected this conversation and the reason that democrats have come so hard to her defense and why they're trying to smear donald trump jr. and other conservatives as racist, they have zero ideas for black americans or any americans
5:10 pm
for that matter. also, kamala harris was polling very low consistently low among african americans. there's some sort of -- that she was not connecting with african american voters, surprise surprise, after this shameless stunt with joe biden last week. she's polling higher now. so mission accomplished. the stunt was shameless, calculated, almost to the point that they were selling merchandise connected to this stunt hours after it happened. so they run on race, they run on division, all of these things because they don't have any ideas for the american people other than selling our country away to illegal immigrants. you talk about free healthcare for illegal immigrants, the borders being concentration camps, complete garbage. most americans look past it. the problem with the democrats and the issue right now is that they need 85 to 90% of black voters. black voters are making a turn to the right.
5:11 pm
they're seeing record low unemployment under the president, they're seeing the president having signed the first step act. they're seeing actual tangible results in their lives under a republican administration and democrats have no other thing to offer them besides fear and handouts. we've seen this before. we'll see it a lot the next 1 1/2 years. >> tucker: if you like what democrats did for gary, indiana, you'll like them running our country. great seeing you. >> thank you very much. >> tucker: thank you. pete buttigieg is the favorite candidate of wall street, not surprisingly. the mackenzie veteran. he's facing trouble in his own city. he's being denounced by locals after a police officer shot and killed an african american man who the police say was cutting at him with a knife. buttigieg cares more about the presidency than the city he supposedly runs.
5:12 pm
>> sure, sure -- >> everyone can just -- we're going to allow him to speak if everybody can calm down. >> i would love to finish -- i would love to finish my reply if that's okay. >> tucker: a few minutes ago, we showed you his solution to the heckling. he suggested his own police department is packed with racists. harvey mills is the president of the south bend fraternal order of police. thanks for coming on. so is the department packed with racists, as your mayor says. >> absolutely not. this incident is nothing to do with race. this incident is about an officer that was forced to defend himself against a dangerous felon who used an eight-inch hunting knife to attack him. that's all this incident is
5:13 pm
about. it has nothing to do with skin color. >> so what does it do to see reckless slime ball mayor impugn the moral character of cops without offering any evidence at all, just dismissing them as racist? what does it do to your average police officer in south bend, to see something like that? >> very demoralizing, tucker. he used the term systemic racism. maybe he doesn't understand the definition of systemic. we do. that means all. he's basically called all police officers racist. that is blatantly untrue. >> tucker: does he have evidence of that? you'd think this is a guy that went to harvard somehow. he's supposedly smart and thoughtful, moral. does he have actual evidence that there's something called systemic racism in the
5:14 pm
department or is he saying that? >> i believe he's just saying it. i have not heard any of that. there's no indication that there's systemic in our police department. it's ridiculous. >> tucker: so who would want to become a cop, if your own mayor is attacking you on national television, or attacking what you do and who you are as a man, your character, who would want the job? do you get paid enough to want to put up with crap like that? >> i've served my whole life. first in the navy and now as a police officer. it really comes down to a want to serve the community that you live in. that's who we hire. people that want to help. it is difficult in today's times. you know, with some of the controversy going on. but cops are good people. they want to help people. >> tucker: it's a difficult job. let's say theoretically that
5:15 pm
your mayor was not spending his time in cnn studios and back in south bend and you had a chance to speak with him about this, what would you say? >> i would tell him that he needs to recuse himself from this investigation. he has used this incident to further his political campaign and he cannot be unbiassed about this. >> tucker: so reckless ant wrong. thank you, harvey. >> thank you. i would like to mention if you don't mind, we had start add go fund me page to help support officer o'neil. however, go opportunity me allows antifa to raise money on their site, but they have taken down our site stating that officer o'neil has been accused of a hate crime, which is
5:16 pm
completely untrue. we have started a -- >> tucker: go fund me do that? >> yes, go fund me. yes. we've started a new campaign. it's on fundly.com. you can help ryan o'neil. >> tucker: thanks. amazing. i didn't know that go fund me do that. >> we already raised -- >> tucker: maybe some day they will be punished for it. >> thank you, sir. >> tucker: thank you. the president's visit to the dmz possibly has revived peace efforts in the region and could save american lives. the neocons are mad. we'll have more live from south korea. hey! i'm bill slowsky jr.,
5:19 pm
i live on my own now! i've got xfinity, because i like to live life in the fast lane. unlike my parents. you rambling about xfinity again? you're so cute when you get excited... anyways... i've got their app right here, i can troubleshoot. i can schedule a time for them to call me back, it's great! you have our number programmed in? ya i don't even know your phone anymore... excuse me?! what? i don't know your phone number. aw well. he doesn't know our phone number! you have our fax number, obviously... today's xfinity service. simple. easy. awesome. i'll pass.
5:20 pm
>> tucker: welcome back. coming to you live from the north korean border. as we chronicled about homelessness on the west coast, massive encampments are filling neighborhoods in cities across the west. seattle, eugene, portland. and tyfus has returned. it's a disaster. it's not inevitable. we were just in tokyo. the world's biggest city. virtually nobody is homeless. 2,000 people in a city of 30
5:21 pm
million metro. no graffiti. why is that exactly? why are the cities in asia so much cleaner, so much better run, so much more function than our cities? it's an obvious question that nobody asks ever. so we asked it of the president during our recent interview. he continues that the problem exists and he would like to do something about it. here it went. >> you can't have what is happening where police officers are getting sick by walking the beat. they're getting very sick. people are getting sick. the people living there are in hell, too. we cannot ruin our cities. you have people that work in those cities, they work in office buildings and to get in, they have to walk through a scene that nobody would have believed possible three years ago, this is the liberal establishment. this is what i'm fighting. >> tucker: the press mocked that over on msnbc.
5:22 pm
jeb bush's former spokesman said that is absurd. here's how "the washington post" said, what homeless crisis? trump paints a dark picture of homelessness in cities. really? have you walked out the doors? your eyes are lying. the massive tent encampments destroying our greatest cities. it's not really a homeless problem. homeless numbers are down, they told us. trump's dark picture is just a right wing fever dream. he's senile, he's a hater. a few months ago, that very same newspaper, "the washington post," had a different view. in march, they wrote that "the significant growth in tent encampments nationwide is one of the most visible signs of the failure of widening inequality. they it is a tent capclean-ups
5:23 pm
have quadrupled in washington d.c. so what happened? did some miracle occur that changed this? they eliminated homelessness and made it a joke to the washington post? what changed? the press changed. trump comes out for something. they're against it. doesn't matter. if the president notices a cry situation, they decide it no longer exists. who is the buffoon? i think you know. too early to tell right now, the president's visit to the dmz could be seen as a historic moment a turning point. we don't know. it was amazing. his meeting with kim jong-un has
5:24 pm
restarted the peace process with north korea and could at some point lead to some kind of resolution. that would clearly be a good thing. no matter how odius north korea is. in the united states, the president is being denounced be i the left, the press. here's the denunciations. >> just the idea that it doesn't mean anything to anyone is an apt parallel. >> with north korea, donald trump has no strategy. he has not brought the american people to this moment where we can embrace what we saw this weekend. >> this is not a great man. donald trump seems to think he's the bee's knees. >> can you imagine president obama or bush doing a visit like we just showed open our screens here without getting something in wrong? >> no, not at all. that's the problem. >> whether it's putin, north korea, white conservatives have decided the last three years that anything that donald trump does is okay.
5:25 pm
>> this is a disgrace. an absolute total disgrace. the flag of the united states is flying on par with the flag of north korea. >> tucker: we have to stop playing clips of these people. they're such loosers. david is an attorney, former foreign policy adviser to barack obama. thanks for coming on. so the idea that kim jong-un obviously loathsome person, i don't think anybody would disagree with that, but the idea that he's such a bad person that you shouldn't meet with him like when did this become a serious idea? i've heard people say that in the last 24 hours. >> we all agree that he's a loathsome person. you said it. we all want the same thing. we want north korea to not have nuclear weapons and to rejoin the international community. is problem is not that trump is meeting with him. the first time trump met with
5:26 pm
him, some of the same people that you just showed were actually happy about it. gave him some compliments on his accomplishing that. he met with him a second time and didn't accomplish anything. now this is the third meeting. go back to the first meeting which happened in singapore. remember that they signed an agreement and kim jong-un signed that, that he was going to denuclearize the korean peninsula. that was over a year ago. yet kim jong-un has taken no steps to denuclearize. in fact, we're probably less safe because kim jong-un has continued with missile tests. short range tests but it's improving his nuclear arsenal. that's the big problem here. it's now he's done a third meeting with no accomplishments and it's normalizing him. >> tucker: all right. this is -- it's all so dumb, it's hard. i'm fighting through the thicket of absurdity here.
5:27 pm
trump, whatever his faults, did not give nuclear weapons to north korea. those were developed under the previous administration. right? under the barack obama administration. nobody said anything about it. >> actually way before that. >> tucker: so he walks into -- >> it happened before obama. >> tucker: he walks into a bad situation. there's almost no understanding what is happening in north korea. we don't even know how old the north korean leader is. we know nothing about the country. so tell me how meeting with him weakens our hand and makes it more dangerous? it's not applausable claim. i'm sorry. doesn't make it worse. >> it's a great photo open for kim jong-un to stand next to the leader of the free work, the president of the united states. that makes him look good. makes him look normal. no other president gave him that benefit. now, it's okay for trump to do that. >> neil: so what?
5:28 pm
stop, stop. >> go ahead. >> tucker: we don't know if he is or not. but we know it's probably -- common sense will tell you it's less likely he is going to lob a missile into seoul after yesterday's meeting. he's an unchallenged dictator that murders opposition. he's not playing to a constituency of millions. i don't understand your point honestly. >> the idea that he's less likely to engage in violence is not true. remember, he killed his own uncle and his half brother. he had great relationships with them. they were his family. when it came down to it, when it decided his own survival depending on killing his own family member, he did it. so trump's idea of a relationship with kim jong-un, and not attacking us, it's not right.kim jong-un does not give a rat's ass about a relationship
5:29 pm
with president trump what he cares about is surviving and making his regime survive. the president has to be more strong and demand something in return when he meets with kim jong-un. that's the point. >> tucker: hes that to be more strong. that's the neocon phrase. okay. i get it. thank you, david. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: monday, young pioneer alexandria ocasio-cortez visited another one of america's overwhelmed migrant holding facilities. she left and lecturing as is her habit. another middle about the condemnation of the people trying to keep our border safe. watch. >> there's abuse in these facilities. there's abuse. this is done on their best behavior and they put them in rooms with no running water and these women were being told by cbp officers to drink out of the toilet. they were dripping water out of the toilet.
5:30 pm
that was them knowing a congressional visit was coming. >> man! i thought i talked a lot. that woman can't stop talking. it's interesting. is any of it true? doesn't sound like it. the border patrol completely denies everything she says. some accused ocasio-cortez of screaming at officials there. is that true? we don't know. all of this is certainly influencing the democratic party. she seems to be in charge. it's the loudest, most aggressive person in a weak party. cory booker released his immigration plan. he wants to release everyone here illegally that crossed the border. de facto open borders. the president of el salvador says drownings are his country fault's, not america's.
5:31 pm
and we have tammy bruce with us. tammy, you have the president of el salvador coming out and taking america's side in a fact over corey booker that is attacking america. what are we to make of this? >> one person has the best interest of his people and that's not cory booker. there's a big difference here. what is interesting, of course, this is -- it's blatant whether it be the debates or all of their immigration plan. they deny it. they realize there was some damage after the debates. it really is decriminalizing, crossing the border, eliminating these facilities, which means open borders. and they're looking for that because the more people you have in a state, the higher your representation is and the house of representatives. it is a cold-blooded calculation for political power. and these very individuals that
5:32 pm
they say they care about, the migrants coming over looking for a better life, fleeing a lawless dynamic as they claim are entering into that environment being created here for them by the democrats. so you got remarkable dynamic, including with miss alexandria ocasio-cortez. now they're being used as props. they're being used to win the news cycle, which is a big barack obama theory, right? no matter what is going on, win the next news cycle and people will move on. the democrats have had a bad few weeks. the debates were just awful. the president is making not only international news but changing the world. so what do they do? they're using these poor individuals as props for them to get more political power and to win a news cycle. every day that goes on, tucker, the democrats lose more and the president of the united states is more apparent that he's making this nation better.
5:33 pm
>> tucker: i'm starting to think you're right, about them let'sing. thanks, tammy. >> thank you. >> tucker: one thing that is obvious, for years the most important thing is to teach kids self-esteem. what do you do that when you do that for a generation? alexandria ocasio-cortez oftenwrong, always self-confident. a living embodiment of the self-esteem program. coming up next, it took years by the betsy ross flag is racist. that's what nike says as we continue our broadcast live from the dmz in south korea.
5:36 pm
5:37 pm
faked a hate crime against himself. matt finn is live with us for an update. >> thanks for having me. fox news obtained this video via a freedom of information request. it appeared to show jussie smollett and the brothers at the crime the night it happened. the brothers are working towards smollett's apartment building. the video is the brothers and in it you can clearly see a flash of a red brimmed hat. police say video shows the brothers purchasing a red-brimmed hat with a wide rope to be used in the hoax. the video shows smollett walking in the middle of the street in the same white sweater. it was a frigid night here in chicago. hardly in other human in sight.
5:38 pm
another piece of video from a loading dock shows smollett in the same white sweater and what also appears to be the brothers seen walking down the same sidewalk. the timing on that not clear. we reached out to smollett's legal team. we have not heard back. so far smollett and his attorneys maintain that he was the true victim of a hate crime, had nothing to do with a hoax, tucker. >> tucker: matt finn, thank you. and the left's racist accusations expand. it's becoming more obvious every day. this week nike was sent to roll out a patriotic sneaker based on the betsy ross 13-star american flag but recalled it at the last minute. why? because celebrity moron activist
5:39 pm
colin kaepernick said it's racist somehow. because it was flown during a time when slavery existed. robert woodson is here. mr. woodson, thanks very much for coming on. >> pleased to be with you. >> tucker: what is the message here? the early american flag, the betsy ross flag is a hate symbol. what does that tell you about their views of america? >> i have to tell you, there's another hoax going on. in my suburban community, there was a shoplifting trio. one was a well-dressed white couple and they would go into an upscale clothing store and he would act suspiciously and draw the security and they would go behind and steal everything and divide up the goodies. that's what's going on here with
5:40 pm
nick, a 31-year-old pampered, well think athlete, can pick up the phone and be the arbiter of nike. what -- while this is happening, he's denigrating a symbol that is very important to many african americans. he's denigrating this country. black americans fought in everly war in this country. and they fought bravely because they fought for the promise that was america. america had a problem and that was slavery and discrimination and racism. what held them together and because they defended -- because america was promise, outweighed the problems and it was self-correcting. we had a system to self-correct.
5:41 pm
so for him to take this, denigrate the flag is very disrespectful to the memory, the sacrifices made by the tuskegee air men, the paratroopers and all the other -- the 92nd combat unit. i think -- he does -- kaepernick does a tremendous disservice to this country. he's plunging us to chaotic differences where we're fighting one another. and meantime, the people whose name he says he toes this is the low income blacks. they suffer the most. as long as we're transfixed on race, we won't address the problem of violence, crime, displacement due to all of the other problems. >> tucker: seems like nike is bleeding our country dry. you're right.
5:42 pm
the scam from which only nike is benefitting. thanks, bob. >> thank you. >> tucker: seems inevitable at this point that america will legalize nationwide probably soon. the question is will this help ordinary people or just those that own cannabis corporations? let you meditation on that. we return in just a moment.
5:46 pm
>> tucker: facebook is a big company. has a lot of different missions spying on you, getting you addicted to digital mindlessness and also pushing abortion. facebook has blocked pro life ads for being sensational and graphic. in ireland, they were censored for showing an unborn child. the coo of facebook, sheryl sandberg, has donated a million dollars to the planned parent action fund. she said she's motivated by draconian laws. she doesn't explain but facebook's view is very clear
5:47 pm
and so is hers. she's articulated it many times. children get in the way of corporate profits, of the bottom line. if you have a family, you're more likely to be loyal to other people than the company you work for, in other words, sheryl sandberg. so abortion is a huge boon to her and shareholders is. a creepier motivation? see if you can think of one. probably isn't. supporters of marijuana legalization is the new frontier in civil rights. legalizing it will help the poorest and vulnerable. the health hazards don't exist. in other words, it's all good. relax, man. dr. kevin was a senior adviser for the office of national drug alcohol policy under president obama. he's no right winger.
5:48 pm
he's president of smart approaches to marijuana. he's never putting people behind bars for having a joint. but he said the risks of using marijuana are real and they're being town played in order to further enrich multinational corporations. here's what he said. >> so the argument, at least the public argument, about marijuana legalization has really existed within a pretty narrow frame work of rights and the positive social effect of legalizing it. you point out that this is also a business push here. >> it's a huge business push. it's backed by big tobacco, which is ironic that some of the staunchest supporters of tobacco are supporting pot. it's about a couple of these guys making a lot of money.
5:49 pm
the idea that some kid from the bronx or somebody that doesn't have the banking connections is going to compete with philip morris and r.j. reynolds is laughable to say the least. >> tucker: so would you say and can you -- is it true that these big companies are funding what appeared to be grass roots effort support of legalized marijuana? >> absolutely. they're funding these political action committees, the lobbyists on the federal and state level. what is interesting, they don't always win. in new york last week, we had a big victory driven by the pta, the medical society, law enforcement. we were outspend 20 to 1 but we defeeted them. it's harder to win in the ballot communities where you have propositions and initiatives. with those, you have to have $10 million to run one commercial.
5:50 pm
with these legislative decisions like new york -- democrats and republicans realize that today's pot is more harmful than it used to be. it's not the 60s weed and being driven by a few guys that want to get rich. they don't like that. >> tucker: interesting. so the health effects of marijuana are to some extend unknown. there's not that much longitudinal study of this. we don't really know. what we do know, the findings are ominous. are these companies not worried about the liability? >> they should be. we're assembling legal experts to look at this. in 10, 20, 30 years, you'll have the lawsuits. we have the lawsuits for the opioid manufacturers. we are going to have lawsuits -- i give it ten years. we have mass lawsuits against big marijuana. it's investoring beware. we know more about marijuana than a lot of people think we do.
5:51 pm
the nash until academy of sciences publish add 400-page report talking about mental illness, schizophrenia, the developing brain, the driving hazards, memory. this is not something that we want to promote in society at all, especially the gummy bears, the waxes. it's nothing to do with the woodstock weed. >> tucker: nobody thinks that be people should go to prison for having a joint. but there's got to be some middle ground between not being insanely punitive and making it really easy for kids to have marijuana products with 85% thc, which is demended. >> you're 100% right. that's why ted kennedy's son and i founded smarter approach to marijuana. i don't want to put kids in prison for put. i never met a cop that wants to do that. we don't want to give people
5:52 pm
criminal records. but you don't have to go through the extreme and open ten pot shops on one block selling 99% gummies and this wax stuff that you vaporizes. it's ridiculous. >> tucker: thank you for being the voice of sanity. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: well, they're invulnerable to heat, cold, radiation, poison. a new breed of invincible insects cropping up all over the world. i'm not making this up. is there a hope of stopping them? that's next as we finish our final show in asia. that's next.
5:56 pm
